Gerald Slaven and the UC Capitals: Strong and Driving Into WNBL27

September 28, 2026

The UC Capitals are back at AIS Arena, and we couldn’t be prouder to be along for the ride. Gerald Slaven has renewed as the club’s Exclusive Automotive Partner for the 2026/27 WNBL season, continuing a partnership that began back in 2023.

Behind the Wheel of the Caps

Once again, we’re providing a fleet of six new vehicles for Capitals players throughout the season. From training sessions to travel around Canberra, reliable and comfortable transport in an all new Chery Tiggo4 means the team can focus on what matters most: performing on the court. It’s a small way for us to back one of Canberra’s most iconic sporting organisations, and a team that represents our city so well.

A Fresh Chapter for the Caps

WNBL27 is shaping up as a new era for the club. Head coach Paul Goriss has assembled a young, new-look roster, with former Bendigo point guard Meg McConnell the headline addition. After a strong pre-season in Townsville and Albury, the Caps are chasing a return to finals. The campaign tipped off on 17 October with a home clash against the Bendigo Spirit, and there’s plenty of action still to come through summer, including a road trip to Adelaide on 27 December.

Starting Five: Rewarding Caps Members

Our support doesn’t stop with the players. Through our Starting Five offer, full-season UC Capitals members can access exclusive savings of up to $1,000 on eligible new and used vehicles purchased through Gerald Slaven. Whether you’re after a Ford, Volkswagen, or Chery, it’s our way of thanking the fans who fill the stands week in, week out. Conditions apply.

Get Behind the Caps

The best way to support the team is to be there. Head to the UC Capitals website for the full fixture, tickets and membership options, and sync the schedule to your calendar so you never miss a game. If you spot a Gerald Slaven vehicle around Canberra, there’s a good chance a Capitals player is behind the wheel, so give a wave.
